Fun fact: the darker the glass is, the less energy it takes to produce and recycle because the additives that make it darker reduce the glass's melting point significantly. Dark coloured glass is also preferred for beverage storage and preservation as they block sunlight, which is why the more expensive wines almost always come in dark glass bottles. Only issue is dark bottles don't let you see inside, which consumers don't tend to like, and a clear glass bottle is more likely to draw attention on the shelf.

Isn't most red wine commonly sold in tinted glass bottles? White also seems to be sold in more transparent bottles.
